APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD (PCB) DESIGN

GUIDELINES

The PCB used to implement the ADMV8913-EP must use a

high quality dielectric material between the top metallization

layer and internal ground layer, such as the Rogers 4003 or the

Rogers 4350. All other dielectric layers of the PCB can be standard

material, such as the Isola 370HR. The characteristic impedance

of the transmission lines to the RF1 and RF2 pins of the

ADMV8913-EP must be carefully controlled to 50 Ω to ensure

optimal RF performance. Connect the GND pins and exposed

pad of the ADMV8913-EP directly to the ground plane of the PCB.

Use a sufficient number of via holes to connect the top and

bottom ground planes of the PCB.
